[Verse 1]
[G]I w[Csus2]as a[G][Csus2]
[G]little boy of 9 years old
The [Csus2]whole world in my hands
Trying to [G]toss that ball across the yard
A game of [Csus2]catch with my old man
He [Am]would always say I'm [G]sorry
Every [Csus2]time he had to leave
And I was [Am]much too young
to [Bm]understand
[Csus2]When he would say to me

[Verse 2]
[D]When you're young, you always think
The [Csus2]sun is gonna shine
[G]There will com[D]e a day when you have
to say hel[Csus2]lo to goodby[G]e
[D]Sit down son come take my hand
[Csus2]Look me in the eye
[G]Take [Am]these [G]words, promise [Csus2]me
You'll live before [G]you die
[Csus2][G]

[Verse 3]
I was barely seventeen,
[Csus2]summer of se[G]venty-nine
[Csus2]Already A[G]lready I was feeling
like I was [Csus2]running o[G]ut of time
I [Am]had this girl, we [G]fell in love
Or should I [Csus2]say that she had me
That [Am]fateful night [Bm]changed our lives
And [Csus2]made a memory

[Verse 4]
[D]When you're young, you always think
The [Csus2]sun is gonna to shine
[G]There will com[D]e a day when you have
to say [Csus2]hello to goodbye
[G]She lai[D]d me down, she took my hand
[Csus2]Looked me in the ey[G]e
And [Am]just before she [G]kissed
me she [Csus2]said
You gotta live before [G]you [Csus2]die
Live before you die
[G]

[Verse 5]
[Csus2]
You [Em]learn to love, to [Csus2]live[D]

and [Csus2]right[G]
[Em]You live be[D]fore you [Csus2]die
[G]

[Verse 6]
[Csus2]
I've [G]made mistakes,
I've caught some breaks
[Csus2]But I got no regrets
There's some [G]things I don't remember
But one thing [Csus2]I don't forget

[Verse 7]
[D]When you're young, you always think
The [Csus2]sun is gonna shine
[G]One day[D] you're going to have to say
hel[Csus2]lo to goodby[G]e
[D]Shout it out,
